Feasibility of the GaInP/InGaAs/GaAs system for modulation doped field-effect transistors

1999-08-01
Si-doped single Ga0.51In0.49P layers and GaInP/InGaAs/GaAs modulation doped field-effect transistor structures grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy were characterized in detail through Hall-Effect and Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy techniques. Electrical characterization of the undoped and moderately Si-doped (ND = 3 x 1017 cm-3) GaInP layers yielded an electron trap with an activation energy of 0.75 eV and a temperature dependent capture cross section with a capture barrier of 0.593 eV showing DX center properties. The trap was not detected in highly Si doped (ND = 4 x 1018 cm-3) as grown layers suggesting that it is a defect complex including a residual impurity. An anomalous decrease in the free carrier concentration of GaInP was observed after the samples were annealed at temperatures typically used in device processing. While other explanations may be possible, this can be attributed to Si atoms moving from donor to acceptor sites. Very high two-dimensional electron gas density (2.6 x 1012 cm-2 at 30 K) was achieved in the lattice matched (x = 0) structure. The strained structures were found to be very sensitive to heat treatment and another level with dislocation trap characteristics was detected in these structures. Persistent photoconductivity and a significant reduction in the interface sheet electron density were observed in the strained samples after annealing. This can partly be attributed to the strain relaxation at the heterointerface. With no detectable traps in heavily Si-doped GaInP and with very high two dimensional electron gas densities, GaInP/InGaAs/GaAs seems to be a promising material system for modulation doped field-effect transistor applications.

Use of NMR relaxometry to assess physicochemical characteristics of seeds and grains
Ünal, Kübra; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2022-8)
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxometry is a widely used characterization method for the analysis of physiological and biochemical changes in a huge variety of samples. Time domain NMR (TD-NMR) relaxometry provides structural analysis at low magnetic fields. It is basically relies on the relaxation times of proton signals coming from the entire sample. Thus, it provides quantification of water absorption and analyzing its distribution within the biological systems. In this dissertation, plant tissues a...
Characteristics of HfO2 and SiO2 on p-type silicon wafers using terahertz spectroscopy
Altan, Hakan; Pham, D.; Grebel, H.; Federici, J. F. (IOP Publishing, 2007-05-01)
The effect of high-kappa dielectric HfO2 films on 200 mm diameter p-type silicon substrates was investigated and compared with conventional dielectric material, SiO2. We employed all-optical characterization methods using terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy and visible cw pump/THz probe spectroscopy. Measurements were performed on two sets of samples, each set containing both HfO2 and SiO2 coated wafers with varying thickness of oxide layer. One set had a protective coating of either photoresist or Si3...

The concurrent employment of alpha-amino acid-derived chiral components such as aldehydes and alpha-iso-cyanoacetates, in a sequential Ugi reaction/cyclization two-step strategy, opens the door to the synthesis of three structurally distinct piperazine-based scaffolds, characterized by the presence of L-Ala and/or L-Phe-derived side chains and bearing appropriate functionalities to be easily applied in peptide chemistry. By means of computational studies, these scaffolds have been demonstrated to act as min...
